I've got a family reunion in Kansas City on July 28th. We are hosting the event at Longview Lake. In that I live in Louisiana, it's a bit far to drag my Hobie 16 for one weekend of sailing. Who knows where I can rent a Hobie cat without too much pain involved?

FYI, I've been sailing for the last ten years in every kind of condition that the Gulf could throw at me....which is why my family calls me "El Blainio." When the weather kicks up and other boat come in, Blaine goes out. My point being, If somone can see fit to helping me out, I'll promise to treat your baby well.....and you get to make a LOT of my nieces and nephews happy.
